What Are You Reading Friday?

Patricia Bradley Book Review 6 Comments

It’s What are you reading Friday and this week I’m reviewing a book I finished earlier this month: Murder Mezzo Forte by Donn Taylor. Here’s the back cover blurb: 

He is a reclusive history professor with musical hallucinations, she a headstrong professor of religion. Earlier, they solved a campus murder, but now police say they formed two-thirds of an illicit love triangle with a newly-murdered female colleague and … are probably guilty of her murder. A leak of the alleged scandal to the college administration threatens their jobs. Now their desperate attempt to prove themselves innocent of the triangle and the murder, plunges them into a tangle of unsavory corporate relationships among college trustees, putting their lives in danger.

Can this ill-matched pair’s stumbling efforts succeed against the entrenched efforts of the police, the college’s incompetent administration, and the powerful but unseen forces of a criminal organization? If not, they may end up unemployed, in prison, or suffering a fate much worse . . .

I really enjoyed this second book in the Preston Barclay mysteries, the first being Rhapsody in Red. While it’s part of a series, Murder Mezzo Forte is also a stand alone, meaning you don’t have to read the first one, but I promise, you will want to read it! You can read the opening here.

Now then, what are you reading this week? Leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for one of the books from my personal library that are featured on my blog this month. Drawing limited to US addresses only.

    The one your reading sounds like an interesting crime-solving duo–I’d like to look into that one. I’m currently on a David Baldacci kick for some reason and enjoying his Maxwell and King crime-solving partners more than I thought I would.
